DOWNER EDI will acquire Western Construction, expanding its fabrication, construction and mechanical maintenance services for the oil, gas and resources sectors.
According to Downer EDI, the acquisition is scheduled for completion in September 2009, and will enhance the company’s maintenance capabilities, allowing it to tap into the LNG and iron ore markets in Western Australia.
Downer EDI is particularly eyeing the large LNG projects being earmarked for the west, thus its choice to acquire Kwinana-based Western Construction.
Western Construction has expertise in engineering design, project management, fabrication, construction, installation, commissioning and refurbishment as well as whole-of-life plant and equipment maintenance and shutdowns.
